1.3 About use
The appliance is intended solely for use in the
household and must not be put to any other uses.
Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must
not be used to heat up the room in which it is
installed.
Caution! You will risk injuring yourself, should you
close the door improperly. You might jam and crush
your fingers and hands.
Do not store any combustible objects in your oven
and, when operating the oven, never leave any
items inside the oven compartment other than the
ones needed.
Make sure that the bottom of the oven compartment
is never covered up during operation or lined with
aluminium foil. Do not place any roasting pans, pots,
baking trays or baking forms directly onto the
interior oven base. The uneven distribution of heat
can damage the enamel of the oven. Use the wire
shelf.
Never pour water directly into the hot oven. This
could damage the enamel.
Always preheat your oven in the mode in which
you intend to bake or roast.
Tip: you have a possibility of heating up the
appliance very quickly. To do this, use the hot air
and bottom heat program.
The “Heating" symbol in the control panel
goes off as soon as the set temperature has been
reached.
Observe caution with oils and fats. They may
overheat and burn easily.
Note! Fruit acids such as the juice of lemons or
plums etc. should be removed after every baking
operation, thus making sure that they will not cause
spots on the oven’s enamel.
After baking/roasting, open the door comple-
tely or close it. Do not leave the oven door half
open as otherwise the control panel and
kitchen furniture may be damaged.
Caution: risk of burns. The inside of the door
gets very hot during operation; observe appropriate
caution when opening the appliance. Make sure
that the open door does not swing back when you
are standing in front of the appliance.
Built-in temperature protection prevents over-
heating of the appliance and of kitchen furniture.
Return the “Temperature" knob to “0" after baking.
If malfunctions should occur, first check the fuses
in your household. If there is no fault in the power
supply, consult your dealer or the nearest autho-
rised Gaggenau service centre.
All heating elements and the fan are switched off
when you open the door.
After completion of baking or roasting, the
cooling fan will continue to run for a time and will
then switch off automatically.
The socket for the separate heating element for the
baking stone (special accessory), can be found in
the middle of the back panel at the bottom. During
normal operation, please leave the cover in the
socket.
